In 2020, Aimé Leon Dore ignited a global frenzy around the New Balance 550, setting the stage for the revival of this late-1980s archival model. The brand's introduction of four vintage-treated colorways, known as the "ALD 550s," not only sparked widespread demand but also elevated Aimé Leon Dore's prominence in the sneaker world.
Featuring team-based primary color accents against an aged white/cream background, the "ALD 550s" quickly became sought-after collectibles. These colorways in red, hunter green, navy, and grey stood out in the sneaker landscape, maintaining their esteemed status over the years.
While the hype around the New Balance 550 might have cooled down with the release of general release colorways, Aimé Leon Dore is rekindling the fire. The brand is bringing back the original quartet of ALD 550 colorways, but this time exclusively in sizes for little kids and toddlers. Available on aimeleondore.com, these kid-sized versions offer a chance to introduce the next generation to the legacy of this iconic collaboration. Don't miss out on securing a piece of sneaker history for your young ones, with prices set at $95 for Little Kids and $85 for Infant/Toddlers.
